Are the actual results relatively stable? I only tested a machine with cores==threads but you've got cores<threads so you might want to add the results to https://libreswan.org/wiki/Test_Suite_-_Performance > I suspect there is still room tune more.

To be fair, I've not tried to tune the new server, I've been waiting for the failures to settle down (#include sound of drumming fingers) (somewhere there's a todo to embed the above numbers in the web results) > Specs of the server: > CPU: 2 x E5-2650L > RAM : 256GB = 16 * 16GB > HD : 8*2TB HGST enterprise sata disks > Motherboard : X9DRi-F > https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9DRi-F.cfm > Similar systems go for about €1000 - 15000 (refurbished used servers) > > However, Tuomo notes it is noisy when I run tests:) > > New ONE: about €1200 > CPU: E3-1240v6 - https://ark.intel.com/products/97469 > Ram : 64GB = 4 * 16 GB = 64 ECC ram > SSD : 2 * 500 GB Samsung EVO 960 SSD raid1 > Motherboard : Supermicor X11SSL-F > https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C236_C232/X11SSL-F.cfm > > I hope this motivates people to collect old Xeon servrs they are great > machines for testrun:) > > -antony > > PS kernel compiling, 5.0.4, with F29 .config file takes 9 vs 20 minutes. > I suspect if I upgrade to SSD(from spinning disk) kernel compiling would be > a bit more faster on the E5 server. > _______________________________________________ > Swan-dev mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.libreswan.org/mailman/listinfo/swan-dev _______________________________________________ Swan-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreswan.org/mailman/listinfo/swan-dev
